Essay: The effects of the Great Chicago Fire The “Great Chicago Fire” burned and destroyed over 17,500 buildings and in the process killed over 300 people. What caused the fire to burn out of control? “A local rumor, that Mrs. O'Leary’s cow started the blaze by kicking over a lantern is probably not true. But that legend stuck in the public mind and holds fast to this day”(Mcnamara). While the infamous story of Mrs. O'Leary and her cow is still believed by many, the real culprits of the fire were blatantly a long-lasting summer drought and a city built of wood. The legend commences when the family's cow knocks over a lighted lantern, however, Catherine O'Leary dismissed the charges. The circumstances were perfect for the fire to advance, and once it went past the neighborhood close by O'Leary's barn it hastened quickly. Burning cinder came down on furniture factories and grain storage elevators, and soon the flames began to devour everything in its track. Although this is a very convincing story, this was most likely not the case, and the true cause of the raging fire has never been decided. Hence, the unknown cause of the fire. Therefore this led people to believe that the fire was caused by the dry gusts of winds the area experienced during and before the time of the “Great Chicago Fire” or the unbelievable tale of O’leary’s cow. The only reaction to the fire was to try to escape, and tens of thousands of Chicago's citizens did. It has been estimated that a fourth of the city’s precisely 330,000 residents took to the streets, bringing what they could in alarm. By the time the sun had risen on Monday morning, most of Chicago was already burned completely to the ground. Wooden buildings had simply disappeared into piles of ash and cinder whilst sturdier buildings of brick or stone were charred ruins, leaving most of the residents homeless. The cost of the destroyed property was estimated at $190 million and more than 100,000 people were left without a house. The result of the “Great Chicago Fire”, the city was left with almost nothing and had to rebuild from the ground up.While the Great Chicago Fire was one of the 19th century's major disasters and a deep blow to the city, the city was rebuilt fairly rapidly. And with the rebuilding came better construction and much stricter fire codes. Inflicting lessons of Chicago's destruction affected how other cities were managed. The “Great Chicago Fire” burned and destroyed over 17,500 buildings and in the process killed over 300 people. While the fire was the result of the dry and windy weather of Chicago, many lives could've been saved. Not only lives but homes and businesses, as well as the livelihood of these people. Not only was it the dry weather, but human error as well as many people failing to do their jobs in these times of events. While most people blame Mrs. O’leary or the conditions of the weather, it was in all honesty, the errors made by all the people.

Excerpt from The Most Dangerous Game Richard Connell When the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, Rainsford took up his flight again. It was flight now, a desperate, hopeless flight, that carried him on for some hours. Dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. The ground grew softer under his moccasins; the vegetation grew ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. Then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank into the ooze. He tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. With a violent effort, he tore his foot loose. He knew where he was now. Death Swamp and its quicksand. Suspense is created in the passage partly due to it being written in which point of view?
A) first person point of view
B) second person point of view
C) third person limited point of view Eliminate
D) third person omniscient point of view

When Teresa, a widow with four young children, saw a notice that members of her church planned to gather to deliver presents and food to a needy family, she took 10 out of her savings jar and bought the ingredients to make three dozen cookies. She got to the church parking lot just in time to join a convoy going to the home that was to receive the congregation’s help. The route was familiar, and she was stunned when cars pulled up in front of her own house. When the pastor saw her, he said, “We never expected you to join us, Teresa. We know it’s been a great struggle since your husband died, and we all wanted to support you.” Although she was uncomfortable being thought of as the object of charity, Teresa didn’t want to embarrass anyone so she cheerfully said, “Well, at least I can share these cookies with our friends.” What is the moral of this story? Is there more than one? Why do you think Teresa was embarrassed when she realized her community wanted to help her?

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR THE BEST AND FASTEST ANSWER!!!! THE MATCH There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match. Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble. In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. Which sentence from the text describes a problem with Walker's match that the phosphorus match tried to solve?
